IGN: Would you say these webisodes are more episodic, or do they share an overarching narrative? Luis: We started working on a 7-minute short film, like "Do not Fall in New York." However the story grew and grew and we ended up making a 27-minute film. Judge Dredd is also important, and we've included other important storylines about other important characters in the Judge Dredd comics. Enol: I must add that this story is not only about Judge Death. It's our full vision of Judge Death - everything we have to say about this character. But how many chances was I going to have to work on a Judge Dredd movie? This miniseries is an origin and an ending. Initially, I wanted to tell only his origins, introducing the character in the Mega-City One universe and leave it with an open ending. He started out as the son of a mad dentist. IGN: We know the miniseries mainly focuses on Judge Death, so can you talk a bit about his role in this? Will this be an origin story for him? Luis: The miniseries tells Judge Death's origins, beginning with his childhood. There were some terrible moments in which we thought we were not going to finish the movie, and not having the fans' support was devastating. Luis: We were three people working for almost 20 months, doing a 30-minute animated movie - without earning money, without talking about it with anyone. Was it interesting for you as directors to create this project knowing that fans were totally unaware that it was happening? Luis: It was horrible. IGN: This miniseries has secretly been in the works for quite awhile. After watching it I started imitating him - until I had to go to the doctor because I felt a muscle pain in my face. I loved Karl Urban's angry face - he did a great job.
In 2012, I started to notice a lot of people talking about the new Dredd movie. Enol Juniquera: My earliest personal memory of Judge Dredd was watching Stallone's movie on the sofa. When Adi proposed we adapt the Boyhood of a Superfiend comic book, we started to buy imported Judge Dredd comics. I liked Adi Shankar's movie, and I had a vague memory of Stallone's, but that was everything I knew about the character. IGN: How familiar were you with Judge Dredd before you started working on this? Were you a fan of the universe? Luis: We are Spanish, and although Carlos Ezquerra, one of the creators of Judge Dredd, is Spanish too the truth is that in this country it was extremely difficult to buy any comic of the character. IGN: To start, how did you meet Adi and get involved with this project? Luis Pelayo Juniquera: A few months after Adi released "Dirty Laundry," I was releasing another fanfilm featuring The Punisher, "Do Not Fall in New York City." I sent it to Adi by Twitter, and he seemed to like it.
